Turn ALGORITHM one step to C1. In Funk, C1 plays a clavinet.		The Sound page on C1, Clavinet

2. Pick a sound

Turn KNOB 1 (Sound) up to Rock Organ. The clavinet part now plays on an organ.

The line above the knobs says Groove A (edited). Your note edits in 107 made an edited copy of the groove, so the new sound goes into that copy.		KNOB 1 (Sound) turned to Rock Organ, Groove A (edited)
